Answer 1

If its a manual trans you can probably pull it, but you'll have to stay in a low gear and go somewhat slower up hills, keep your eye on the temp gauge. If its an automatic, there might be a problem with the trans trying to upshift and downshift all the time. a 16 ft boat probably weighs about 12-14 hundred pounds and that doesnt include the trailer. Sounds like a relativly lightweight vehicle, so you want to control you speed well going downhill. If your car is smaller than your boat you might have trouble slowing down on a downhill grade, so be carefull. Another variabe is weather its a bumper hitch or a trailer hitch. might want to check into toung weight capability for you auto model. Good luck! hope this helped.

Answer 2

h**l no. dont even try cause you better believe something will go wrong. either over heat blow your motor or it just wont go.

Answer 3

I suppose it would depend on how much the boat and trailer weighed. I have a buddy with a Honda accord wagon and he pulls two jet skis on a trailer with it. Hope this helps

Answer 4

it would pull it, not to well.

you could run into problems at the ramp as its front wheel drive. because of the angle all the weight would be on the back wheels and not much weight on the front so you might start spinning, that wouldn't be fun.
